#2 is covered explicitly in A-21.

The base salary for an AY salary is NOT changed.  The summer pay is at the
same RATE as the previous AY salary.  In our institution we have a separate
payroll type for summer pay for AY faculty, because the employee benefits
are calculated for a 12 mo. period and spent over a 9 mo. period, so the
only "benefit" is the FICA/medicare on the summer pay (we use an "hourly"
payroll type for summer).

#1 is somewhat more problematic, and may depend on your internal
policies.  The "additional work" (which cannot be the grant work itself)
may be a temporary supplement for temporary additional work, under your
overload policy.  Read your policy carefully to determine if this is really
an increase in "base pay"; it probably is not if the work is temporary.  If
the additional work is a permanent change in work assignment that increases
"base pay" on a permanent basis, then it is truly an increase in base pay.
